Fundraiser today for Ontario girl killed in crash

Family and friends of an Ontario girl who was killed in a car crash are holding a fundraiser today to help with funeral and medical costs.

Samatha Padilla, 8, was riding a vehicle with her grandmother, two siblings and a 9-year-old boy when the vehicle was broadsided by a Ford F-250 pickup at the corner of Euclid and Schaefer avenues April 30.

The crash seriously injured everyone in the car and Samatha died that afternoon, police said.

The fundraiser will be today from noon to 8 p.m. at Carl's Jr., 7069 Schaefer Ave., Chino.

Customers bringing a copy of the flier for the event will have a portion of their purchase go toward the Samatha Padilla Memorial Fund.
